Want Some Quiet?

Sitting next to Chu Xuanao, Chu Mo's eyes flashed with anger, partly directed at the Li Family and partly at the Xuantian Dao Sect.

The Li Family's actions are indeed unacceptable. Li Yanxiao came here alone, and the Li Family's behavior is a direct provocation against the Imperial Clan, a test of their bottom line.

Do you feel you've become stronger, or do you feel your Imperial Clan has become weaker?

This is a preparation to establish their own sect, just like the Three Demon Mountain and the Xuantian Dao Sect, and stand on the opposite side of the Imperial Clan.

Looking back, if it weren't for the intervention of the Imperial Clan, the Li Family would have been wiped out long ago. How could they have achieved their current status Dagan of the four top powers? Now they want to betray the alliance?

As for the Xuantian Dao Sect, these guys are clearly stirring up trouble, ready to see their Imperial Clan make a fool of themselves.

A strange look flashed in Chu Yinghao's eyes. This dog had finally become disobedient, but wasn't this exactly what his Imperial Clan wanted? However, they couldn't do this openly for the time being; the relationship still needed to be maintained.

"In the current state of the Great Feng, there's no need for such a fuss. True Person Liyue is joking. Alright, True Immortals, let's stop with the banter and begin the banquet."

As for the Li Family, all that was done by the Dagan Imperial Clan was to incite and stir up their ambition and greed. It seems the effect has been quite good so far. Let them test them; the result will be the same anyway.

Although the two sides still maintain the so-called alliance agreement on the surface, they both know that it is useless. Those who make the rules never care about how the rules actually are.

If it's not in my best interest, I'll just change it. It was just something I said offhand and wrote casually. When the Imperial Clan declines, the Li Family will inevitably retaliate. That's for sure. That's just how the world is. Just like when the Li Family first started out, the Three Demon Mountain attacked them.

There is no such thing as right or wrong in this world; weakness is the original sin.

If strength and weakness are symbols and foundations, then interests are the eternal topic. The Secret Realm of the Li Family's rebirth was coveted by the Three Demon Mountain and the royal Imperial Clan as well. However, Dagan the internal situation at the time, the Imperial Clan could not take it all on their own.

Instead of giving it to someone else, it would be better to use it to open up the internal situation of Dagan, creating another force to help the Imperial Clan withstand pressure from all sides. This would be more impactful and have a longer-lasting effect than releasing a Secret Realm and causing more turmoil.

The real benefits derived from this are far greater than those from a simple Secret Realm.

This is why the Li Family survived, and it remains so to this day. The determination of strength and weakness, and the allure of the entire Dagan, led the Li Family to believe that the Imperial Clan had weakened and to test Imperial Clan.

But they were wrong. In the eyes of the Imperial Clan, they were still the same grasshopper they had been before, easily crushed.

As for the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Imperial Clan treated them differently than they treated the Li Family. They were more cautious and wary of the Imperial Clan, as these people had a deep foundation and were not like the fledgling Li Family.

"Indeed, we must thank True Person Liyue and True Person Li Luo this time. It was unexpected that the Dao Sect would come. Of course, this is also for the country. We Dagan stand together and fight side by side. Come, everyone, let's raise our glasses and drink together."

After Chu Yinghao and Chu Wensheng finished speaking, Li Yanxiao, with a smile, chimed in.

"That is indeed the case. It is truly a rare opportunity for us to gather together today. Let us share a drink."

Chu Xuanao also picked up his wine glass and said loudly.

"Come on, esteemed seniors, let's drink together."

Below the main seats of the three top powers, several Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts sat in order on both sides of the central avenue, while Ye Gucheng and Li Xunhuan sat at the head of the table on either side below the main seats.

The people below remained silent when the others spoke. Those above, however, came from top-tier forces and could tease and joke with each other because they had powerful backers. In other words, Jiang Liyue was the one mocking Li Yanxiao.

Even if it were a real fight, Li Yanxiao wouldn't be able to defeat him. As for the Imperial Clan, the alliance is still in place. Even if they secretly want to kill the other party, they will still give them some face on the surface.

If you were to replace the speaker with any of the following individuals, aside from Ye Gucheng, Li Xunhuan, and Ling Yan, who would dare to say that Li Yanxiao could slam the table and turn on you at any moment?

Upon hearing the words of Chu Wensheng, Li Yanxiao, and the Prince of Qin, and seeing that Jing Zhonglai and the others above had already slowly raised their glasses, indicating that all three forces had expressed their stance, everyone followed suit and raised their glasses as well.

After the first drink, the banquet began, and everyone chatted, gradually making the atmosphere more familiar and lively.

"Old Ling, what's wrong?"

Seats were a little further back than Ye Gucheng and Li Xunhuan's. Xiao Chengfeng of the Duke Ding's Mansion keenly noticed the change in his good brother's emotions and asked him in a low voice.

"Old Xiao, I'm fine, I just want some peace and quiet."

Sitting next to Xiao Chengfeng was Ling Yan, but at this moment, even Ling Yan's tone of voice sounded weak.

"Quietly?"

Who is it?

Don't you Miaoxin anymore?

"Want some peace and quiet?" Xiao Chengfeng asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Roll!

Why!"

Ling Yan simply uttered a soft sigh, then slowly closed his eyes to rest. His heart was filled with complex emotions, the kind that were hard to describe—frustration, frustration, or something else entirely.

Having broken through to the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, he was considered one of the few strong individuals in the world. This battle was supposed to be his chance to shine, but before the fight even began, his excited and fiery heart was completely dampened.

The kind that almost made one's Dao heart unstable.

He had assumed that among the strong contenders who came to this battle, he was definitely among the top three, and that should have been the case.

Chu Yinghao is at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and Ling Yan is also at the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The one in the shadows is also at the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but the two of them have never fought, so it is unclear who is stronger. The rest are all at the early and middle stages of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

With Ling Yan's strength, he should be in the top three, or even second.

Of course, this arrangement is based on the premise that Chu Xuanao doesn't speak and the Xuantian Dao Sect doesn't come either.

Upon his arrival, after all the powerful figures appeared, before Ling Yan could even show off his skills, Ye Gucheng, a sword cultivator at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, arrived first.

It was Li Xunhuan from the Prince of Qin's Manor again. Just from the sword intent and aura he revealed, Ling Yan knew that this person had been immersed in the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm for a long time, and his strength was above Ling Yan's. If he still had the Divine Weapon Mysterious Feather Dao Robe, he might still be able to fight him, but there are no ifs.

He was no match for Li Xunhuan, a subordinate of the Prince of Qin.

After that, Jiang Liyue Xuantian Dao Sect, the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm of the Xuantian Dao Sect, was still the sect's precious darling. Needless to say, his strength and overall configuration far surpassed Xuantian Dao Sect's.

As for Lin Ting, there's no need to say more; he's a powerhouse with the potential to reach the Heavenly Being Realm, and his strength surpasses Lin Ting's.

As for whether Jiang Liyue has no hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Being Realm?

No, this True Person Liyue is not just someone who is expected to break through, but someone who is a sure thing to break through to the Heavenly Being Realm. Both of them are absolutely core figures within the Xuantian Dao Sect. Without the Heavenly Being Realm speaking up, it can be said that they are the top figures in the Dao Sect.

At the beginning, Ling Yan's strength was at least second or third among those present. But what about now?

Not long after!

Those experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm came as if they were free, each one more powerful than the last in a few swift moves.

Ling Yan dropped from second or third place on the list to sixth, and that was the best-case scenario; he might even be seventh. In any case, none of the top five were people he could handle.

Three people at the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm have arrived!

It's safe to say that without the strength of the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, you can't even rank in the top three!

The drop was too big; he almost fell out of the top ten. Anyone would be able to accept that. Ling Yan's mentality is indeed starting to crumble!

How come I never realized there were so many powerful people in the world before?
